Me and OH are getting set up for camping this year and think were gonna go as of May ( long as the wheather picks up!!) Were gonna go to proper camping sites like Beverly parks and Haven. George will be 9 months old then.

Do you think he will be too young? As anybody got any camping experiences they could share with me?

Ive only ever been once and that was when my OH was night fishing so was a bit different!

Yeah were gonna get an electrical hook up. My OH said its just gonna be like an home from home. Just hope George will be OK though like sleeping outdoors that young Obviously I will wrap him up a bit more but just hope he's gonna like it. Were gonna be camping for the next few years for holidays!! Gonna have a few weekends away then in August going Devon for a week.

My cousin went camping with her son when he was just a few weeks old and they had a great time - just the two of them. I'm sure you'll all have a great time!

We camped at a Car show when Georgia was nearly 5 Months old, we stayed in a tent, it was good fun and she slept and behaved very well

We used boiling water from the kettle and a large container to sterilize her bottles and it worked perfectly.

She was small enough to sleep in the removable part of her Graco Pram then and as she got bigger she now sleeps in her own Dora blow up ready bed along side our inflatable bed..works perfectly

Hope it helps

Have a fun time x

I am a scout leader and took my daugter camping at 9 months... and she LOVED it! I think the fresh air and sun was brill for her and it was surprisengly easy to look after her... not as easy as home but was a fantastic week of camping
